American Legion

The American Legion, founded in 1919, is the nation's largest veteran service organization dedicated to advocating for the needs of veterans, service members, and their families. Through grassroots efforts, they work tirelessly on Capitol Hill to ensure support for military families and to prevent veteran suicide by promoting mental health resources and peer-to-peer support.

With a strong focus on community engagement, the American Legion empowers local communities through various programs, such as youth development initiatives and educational resources. Their longstanding commitment has resulted in significant achievements, including securing billions in disability benefits for veterans and fostering leadership skills among young participants in programs like American Legion Baseball and Boys State.
